In my case, I know a few of these voice actors because they're "also face actors" (well, apart from The Simpsons's, who doesn't remember a few names from its end credits but has never seen their faces?) "A documentary co-produced by John DiMaggio (who also narrates). It centers on the behind-the-scenes process of voice acting, featuring interviews of many voice actors (a lot of whom you may recognize from many Western animated TV series, English anime dubs, and video games) and the entire entourage of people responsible for getting voices from studio to premiere. It also covers the history of voice acting and shows how professional voice acting is still going strong in an age when live-action celebrities (most of whom can't voice act very well) are brought in to do voice-work, as well as voice acting in video games and anime dubbing."

For The New Yorker This piece contains spoilers for the series finale of “The Americans.” My life prepared me to do one job, and this job was translating for “The Americans,” the FX show that wrapped up on Wednesday after six seasons. Most of the episodes contained at least a few scenes in Russian, and “The Americans” was the first show I’d encountered whose creators cared to insure that the dialogue was scripted and spoken in actual, idiomatic, living Russian. For the last three seasons, it was my job to translate these scenes, scripted in English, into Russian. It wasn’t just any Russian, either. The show begins in 1981 and ends in 1987, just before the language began to follow, and to facilitate, the country’s transformation by absorbing hundreds of words from foreign languages— office , bucks , management , and so many others that capitalism brought with it, but also electoral’niy , exit poll , and more to describe the mechanics of democracy—and by creating brand-new ...

Podcast do Público      A vida post-mortem de Marilyn vai de vento em popa. Retrospectivas, livros... Em No Escuro perguntamos: o que continuamos a procurar nela que não procuramos noutras estrelas da Hollywood clássica? Quando morreu, na madrugada de 4 para 5 de Agosto de 1962, na sua vivenda de estilo mexicano na 5th Helena Drive, em Brentwood , Los Angeles, dificilmente se apostaria que a vida de Marilyn Monroe (nascida a 1 de Junho de 1926 faria cem anos daqui a dois meses) estava para durar. Reparem: o MoMA de Nova Iorque realizou uma retrospectiva em Março, abrindo o programa Marilyn Monroe: Celluloid Dreams com O Pecado Mora ao Lado , de Billy Wilder, realizado em 1955, ano que foi, entre todos, o mais decisivo para a imposição de Marilyn como estrela planetária. O programa contemplava na placidez do seu roteiro comemorativo de centenário, um ciclone: Mulholland Drive , de David Lynch , ou o diálogo de Marilyn com um dos grandes títulos do século XXI. É isso: el...

Obituário / necrológio do Público: Isabel Coutinho   O académico e crítico de cinema Mário Jorge Torres morreu esta madrugada, aos 76 anos, no Hospital de Santa Maria, em Lisboa, onde estava internado, confirmou ao PÚBLICO o professor catedrático Mário Avelar, seu colega e amigo. "Recordo do Mário Jorge Torres a forma como inundava os filmes, o que pudéssemos pensar deles, com o seu entusiasmo – às vezes com a sua fúria. Era a sua hermenêutica", diz o jornalista e crítico Vasco Câmara, seu editor no PÚBLICO durante anos. "E de repente, todo o cinema se podia tornar magnificamente clássico, de uma beleza alpina. Contra tudo e contra todos, nesse entusiasmo. Não vou esquecer", acrescenta, recordando que a última vez que o viu assim, exuberante, dramático, com uma alegria infantil, depois do visionamento para a imprensa, foi na estreia de Titanic , o filme de James Cameron. "Foi também uma época especialmente empática, de 'espírito de corpo', nesse sentid...

  Interpreting Shōgun Was More Than Just Translation From Vulture : Shōgun is a show about fate. About cross-cultural differences, statecraft, chaos, about war never changing, and about getting my ship the Erasmus back. But most importantly, it’s a show about communication . Court etiquette of the Sengoku era, as well as the gender politics of the time, mean a lot of things cannot be said explicitly. Even if you speak the same language as someone, you can never fully know them, and yet you all have to work together toward a common goal. The making of Shōgun mirrored these themes in many ways. As a cross-cultural production — shot in Canada, produced by Hollywood, filled with Japanese actors — interpretation was key. Enter Eriko Miyagawa. The producer worked closely with lead actor/producer Hiroyuki Sanada to ensure the show was accurate to period Edo yet still relatable to modern Tokyo. From consulting on translating English scripts for Japanese actors, to t...
